Trigger Mike Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I tried dr comfort diabetic socks and they are comfortable and better than normal socks, BUT darn it the heel and bottom wear thin and get holes. I need a good sturdy diabetic sock that can hold up to snake boots and mud boots since they are the most comfortable shoe I own. I can wear them all Day while my dr comfort mini boots hurt after a couple of hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedalia Dave Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Try wearing a pair of thin dress socks over them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Danger of them being too tight and causing circulation problems. SWMBO cannot wear anything but diabetic socks now or she has serious problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeaconKC Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I have had the Dr Scholl's socks hold up very well, maybe those will work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singin' Sue 71615 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Are Diabetic socks and Compression socks the same thing??? I bought Tommy Copper compression socks at Walgreens, and I love them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Bascomb, SASS # 47,494 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 TM---try Thor.Lo brand diabetic socks. They work and wear well. Not cheap, but neither is losing a foot..... If you can't find them locally (try specialty outdoor or sports stores) PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Four-Eyed Buck,SASS #14795 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Inherited one pair from SIL, not overly fond of them. Probably have to look into some in the future, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singin' Sue 71615 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Our systems are so intricate!!! I need to wear compression socks to keep blood flowing and not collecting. I don't wear them like I should...and I sure feel it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoken D Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Forget Doc Ortho. They have the same problem. Really great socks but for the price don't last long. Holes show up real quick. Just my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Hummm.... Oh...I just got off all my type II diabetes meds, after ten years. Started reading how you can reverse it, and it works. But, it ain't easy. But even not being easy...it beats a stick in the eye. My bottle of metformin has now officially become a target for my .50-90 Shiloh Sharps. Yippie Yi Yo Ki Yaaa!!! W.K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imis Twohofon,SASS # 46646 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Blue Boy has to wear them. He has had great success with Dr Schols for wear. If you order online they will try to get you to join their "club'> It costa about $18/mo and you get nothing. Imis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendo Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Have you tried regular boot socks? It's what I use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trigger Mike Posted April 30, 2021 Author Share Posted April 30, 2021 Tried regular boot socks but diabetic socks are more comfortable but I sometimes wear them anyway. I think my main problem is my feet swell up so much I had to go to the next size up shoe. Oddly I don't have that problem with snake boots as long as I tie off at the second hole instead of the top hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
